That's what two robbery suspects used in an unsuccessful attempt to rob a Madison Heights jewelry store that ended with a serious crash Monday in Madison Heights, officials report.

Officers arrested one suspect -- a 19-year-old Lima, Ohio, resident -- and are investigating the incident in hopes of locating the second man.

The two men walked into Jared Jewelers at 451 W. 14 Mile Road, and asked an employee about jewelry, police say.

The store employee, who was assisting the men, asked what type of jewelry they were looking for. They did not answer, but one sprayed the employee -- and another nearby employee -- in the face with pepper spray.

The men then used hammers to try to break into the store's jewelry cases. After they failed at that, the pair fled the store, authorities say.

They got in a Chrysler van and drove south.

Employees at the Jared store called Madison Heights police and gave descriptions of the suspects and the vehicle they were in. Responding officers saw the van traveling southbound on John R Road, south of Whitcomb.

While chasing the suspects' vehicle, officers saw the van crash into another vehicle that was traveling eastbound on 13 Mile Road, turning onto southbound John R.

After the collision, police say the suspects in the van ran off. Police caught up with the Ohio man and arrested him, but didn't find the second suspect.

The occupants of the other vehicle suffered serious injuries and were transported to Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital. They were listed in critical condition Monday, according to a release from the Madison Heights Police Department.
